Over the past decade, the rise of digital communities, education, and advocacy on social media has transformed the OCD landscape. While it used to take decades to receive a diagnosis, our report found this timeline has shortened, and significant progress has been made.

We’re thrilled to launch OCD in the Digital Age — a research report about Gen Z’s modern OCD journey 🔎📊 madeofmillions.com/state-of-ocd OCD is a serious, often misunderstood mental health condition 👇

At the end of the day, the internet will always be both good and bad, which is why demonizing it is unproductive. Instead, we need to see it for what it is: a tool to be used in moderation, and alongside real-life resources.

Thank you @Mashable for the feature 🙏 It’s easy to paint topics like mental health in black and white. News coverage doesn’t always capture the nuances of online advocacy. We’re grateful to have a publication do this convo, and our research, justice. mashable.com/article/mental…

As an org dedicated to online advocacy and grassroots change, we understand how transformative tech and social media can be. To anyone who has also been deeply impacted by the internet — this report is for you.

We’re excited to dive deeper into our findings over the next few weeks, and believe that now is an especially crucial moment to be focusing on younger generations and the systemic barriers they’re up against.

Our findings flip a lot of current narratives about mental health and social media, and offer a dualistic, hopeful take for a generation in need of guidance. Download the report for free or watch our video essay breaking down these findings on YouTube: madeofmillions.com/remapping-reco…

But after years working in advocacy, we noticed research on this topic hadn't kept pace. Where were all the reports comparing Gen Zs journey to generations that came before? Hadn’t factors like the internet changed the way young people learn about/address their mental wellbeing?

With these questions in mind, our team, in partnership with research group Culture Co-Op, set out to explore Gen Z’s unique mental health experiences. We asked ourselves: What does this journey currently look like? How can it be faster and more linear for today’s young people?

The mental health journey has evolved in recent years due to a long list of cultural and technological changes: the rise of social media, telehealth platforms, greater pop culture representation, reckonings about systemic inequality.

After a year of quietly working on this project, we’re thrilled to finally launch Remapping Recovery — a research report about Gen Z’s quest for better mental health care 📄 madeofmillions.com/remapping-reco…

This #WorldMentalHealthDay (and really every day), we urge people to broaden their definition of advocacy. It's not just about platitudes & telling people "it's ok not to be ok." Advocacy is about minimizing suffering, increasing connection & helping people meet their basic needs

If you think mental health advocacy feels repetitive or unproductive, it’s because your definition is too narrow. Advocacy needs to be systemic. Being "aware" only gets you so far if you don’t have access to food, housing, healthcare & community. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth
